“Nuclear Now”

7.2

What “An Inconvenient Truth” should have been. I suppose that’s what happens when you trust the messaging to an actual filmmaker. Alas, Oliver Stone nails it. A well balanced tone and narrative leads to a much more palatable presentation. The infographics especially helped illustrate the data in a way that seemed particularly impactful.

In short, it’s the story of how humans stumbled upon a discovery that could have either saved or destroyed us. Of course, we first used it to try and destroy ourselves, because that’s what we do. Then, we fumbled the bag when it came to using the positive possibilities presented by nuclear generation technology.
